punisher Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi,sorry where did you book that?eva website or some travel website or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomallison Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I intend to travel the same route in October next year, but would want to go business class. For the best deal, is it best to book so early, if even possible, or wait until, say 2 or 3 months prior to departure. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for any advice. if going to the UK why not check out Oman Air, or even Aeroflot, cheap prices. A few years ago I think it was EVA did buy 1 get 1 free on Business class seats, but along time ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champken Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 May is usually one of the cheaper months to fly so i'm not sure if 31K (£640) is that cheap, but then again its not that expensive either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 How did you book this flight ? I tried to get a price on a flight to the UK over Songkran in April for about 12 nights and nothing is coming up as available on the Eva Air website. It's been this way for a while now, no flights are showing up between Bangkok and London at all around Songkran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyFarthing123 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I tried to book a flight to US for May and kept getting flights unavailable, contact EVA. I called Bangkok and they told me they would only book 3 months ahead because of price changes. I ask about the "book up to 365 days in advance" that the website quotes and she just ignored the question, and told me to check after the new year.

Eva Air air doing direct Economy for 600-650 Pounds depending on dates, and they are doing Premuim Economy for 899 , seems the same price what ever date you travel over Songkran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happylarry Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I just booked EVA to Heathrow next june for 70,000 for two. Booked on their own web site, but I believe you have to book before end of year for the cheaper prices. HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest I just checked EVA's web site and put a couple of dates in for april and was quoted 40,400 baht but no problems at all. HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geriatrickid Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) My posts have always been positive in respect to Eva Airways, so when I write this now, do not take it as bashing. The FF airline web forums all have some cautionary notes about EVA's current economic situation. Keep in mind that KingFisher at one time had the same public adulation as EVA. EVA's been trying to get into Star Alliance for some time and has been blocked and Star Alliance has ratcheted up the competition on the routes where EVA was at one time the best option. Now there is sort of price competition going on with Star Alliance carriers offering various seat sales in economy and business that are as good as if not better than EVA. Something has to give at EVA as it can not cut back anymore on its food, FF program, lounges or call service anymore that it has. IMO there has been a noticeable steady downgrading of service and quality onboard flights for the past 2 years, going from a high 4star airline to an almost a 3star airline. Keep your eyes on the FF websites. Edited December 20, 2011 by geriatrickid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a break to stretch my legs, direct is great if a good price I must admit. I use itasoftware for prices, then direct with the airlines (I have noticed that Itasoftware gives ridiculous prices for EVA).

phutoie2 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 What's the best method of booking a ticket?, online or a travel agency. I have just being looking at flights Bangkok - London (LHR) on several booking agencies. In the past I have travelled down to Bangkok and booked face to face in a travel agency. Looking at flying in late Sep next year. Second Q, - book now or wait a few months before? Not been back to UK for sometime now, the riots put me off last year!!
